"BOTTLE SHOCK" Premiere Party and Fundraiser
Steeltown Entertainment Project is pleased to present the
Pittsburgh Red Carpet Movie Premiere & Party
for the "hugely entertaining*" film: "BOTTLE SHOCK"
Thursday August 21, 2008: South Side Works Cinemas.
The party begins at 6:15PM. And you're invited!
ABOUT THE FILM:
In 1976, a small American winery sent shock waves through the wine industry by besting the exalted French wines in a blind tasting, putting California wines on the map for good. Not only is "BOTTLE SHOCK" based on this infamous true story of love, victory and fermentation, but it was produced by Pittsburgh's own Marc and Brenda Lhormer of Zin Haze Productions. "BOTTLE SHOCK" was directed by Randall Miller and stars Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman, Dennis Farina, Rachael Taylor, Freddy Rodriguez, Chris Pine and Eliza Dushku. See the trailer here: www.bottleshockthemovie.com.
"A marvelous, beautifully made, feel-good movie that is guaranteed to revive everyone's flagging faith in American pride at home and abroad."
– Rex Reed, The New York Observer
"Rocky for wine aficionados. Intelligent, affectionate,
beautifully acted. Gives crowd-pleasers a good name."
- Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter
"Hugely Entertaining! There's magic in it! It's a winner!"
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

I wish I could attend this event. I'd like to see this movie again! It's my favorite comedy of the summer hands down. I'm glad to see it's getting great reviews. I could see Alan Rickman getting a best suporting actor nom for this the way Alan Arkin did in Little Miss Sunshine.
